Early this season, when Eintracht had once again outplayed an opponent, a reporter asked sports director Timmo Hardung whether the team had changed its style of play. After all, last season the ball was pushed back and forth, now she has the ball less often than the opponent. If Eintracht is in the lead, it is easier to wait and counter quickly, said Hardung. It is the recipe that brought Eintracht to second place in the Bundesliga and eleventh place in the ball possession table.
